internet at home. i'm trying to do some homework here. so they're ready for anything. republicans are putting brett kavanaugh's accuser on the clock, giving her until friday to decide if she will testify against donald trump's supreme court nominee. plus, should president trump order the fbi to investigate the sexual assault accusation against kavanaugh. a former high-ranking member of the fbi will join us. plus, a crackdown on the state department. how mike pompeo is taking a page from his third grade teacher. hello to our viewers in the

united states and all arnold the world. i'm rosemary church. this is "cnn newsroom." the woman who is accusing brett kavanaugh until sexual assault has until friday morning to decide whether to tell her story to senators. the attorney for christine bla blasey ford says they are running toward a hearing. >> reporter: president trump voicing confidence today that his supreme court nominee will weather the sexual assault allegation made against him. so confident, he's referring to brett kavanaugh as justice. kavanaugh's nomination seems to be moving forward, as republicans are growing frustrated with his accuser, christine blasey ford, who

announced through her attorney on cnn, that she wanted an fbi investigation before testifying. trump, who has the ability to make that call, arguing for the opposite today. ford alleges kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers, accusations he denies. trump urging her to tell her story. >> i would want to see her. i want to see what she has to say. >> reporter: casting county on her allegations. >> he's such an outstanding man, hard for me to believe it happened. if she shows up and makes a credible showing, that will be very interesting. we'll have to make a decision. >> reporter: ford's attorney tells cnn that since she came forward, she had her e-mail hacked and has been impersonated online. >> she is dealing with hate mail, harassment, zdeath threat.

white house officials say there's no plan to withdraw kavanaugh's nomination. although the monday hearing is in question, he's back at the white house for prep sessions. telling hours telling aides about his dating life and teenage years. >> hurting somebody's life badly. it's very unfair. >> reporter: as the president defended his nominee, he made clear that democrats are to blame. >> why didn't senator feinstein bring this up in her meeting with kavanaugh. >> reporter: they are continuing to reach out to ford. >> where i'm focused is doing everything we can to make dr. ford comfortable coming before a committee. >> reporter: senator susan collins is pushing back for an

fbi investigation. >> i think it's not fair to judge kavanaugh for her not to come forward and testify. >> reporter: the white house is pleased with this request from ford because their baigest fear was that she would come forward and make a convincing argument and sway the vote of people like senator susan collins. now, this take it or leave it attitude that we're seeing from republicans, means that kavanaugh could be well on his way to being confirmed. scott lucas joins us from ng land. he's a professor of international politics at the university of ibmibirmingham. the judiciary committee wants ford to say by friday if she plans on testifying on monday.

the democrats want an investigation. the republicans want to vote as soon as possible. what's going on here politically on both sides? >> well, let's put it bluntly. politics trumps the law, both in the sense of brett kavanaugh's legal credentials and in the specific case of whether or not this event occurred 35 years ago. the leading senators on the judiciary committee don't want an investigation. they don't care what happened 35 years ago. they want to rush the confirmation through before the november elections. the democrats do not want this confirmation to go through, especially when they say in 2016, the republicans dragged their feet for months, to prevent a confirmation of a supreme court justice. of course, they're going to use this case to try to delay matters. but here's the bottom line for me, rosemary. do you think this case is

serious enough in the event this man is going to become a justice for life? do you think we should make clear and know what has happened in his past? or do you believe this can be swept away? individuals have to make their own judgment on it. but it's quite clear that the trump administration is going to push ahead, hope for the confirmation and hope they are not punished if politics trumped law and justice. >> we saw it in 1991, with the clarence thomas confirmation hearings. the senate judiciary committee is not equipped to deal with allegations of this nature. wouldn't an fbi investigation benefit ford and kavanaugh by revealing what happened at that party in 1982. >> first of all, there's a big difference between the anita hill case and this one.

there were witnesses that were heard by the committee. there's questions how the hearings were conducted. but they took the time to review what occurred. here, those that want to push kavanaugh through don't want to take any time to examine this. speaking personally through her lawyers, professor ford said she doesn't believe she should come forward without an investigation. it would be a political moment. it would be standing her up versus brett kavanaugh. i respect that position. brett kavanaugh's position, i would suspect he doesn't want an investigation. whether or not there is anything to be found, he prefers this all go away and he can be a justice as soon as possible. >> but it will hang over him for the rest of his career, whether this goes forward or not. surely, he would want this resolved with an investigation.

>> one could say that anita hill was over clarence thomas' head for 25 years. when you're a justice, you're a justice for life. until somebody reviews that case and finds this behavior, this case will probably go away, i don't think he will be too troubled about this if he is one of the nine justices. >> finally, what impact could this issue potentially have on the midterm elections in november, do you think? >> i go back to each and every person who is reviewing this. do they think it matters? if it does, it could affect folks if novembfolk s in november, one way or another. for the trump administration and key republicans in congress, they think they can push this through. they would rather take the risk of upsetting some voters before

november, then waiting until avenue november when they might lose a majority in the senate and in congress and lose the nomination. >> scott, thank you for sharing your expertise with us. president trump doesn't like jeff sessions and he's becoming more vocal about it. acting as though sessions has vacated the position. we get the latest from jessica schneider. >> reporter: a new twist to president trump's attacks on his attorney general. >> i'm disappointed in the attorney general for numerous reasons. >> reporter: those comments on the south lawn comes after a scathing interview with "the hill," where the president was berating sessions. saying, i don't have a attorney general. it's very said. he was telling quality the hill," he did poorly. he was giving confusing answers.

answers that should have been easily answered. but the real grudge is sessions' refuscusal from the russian investigation. he probably said, i recuse myself. i recuse myself. the president has repeatedly pressed the justice department to investigate hillary clinton and her use of a private e-mail server. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: sessions stayed silent about trump's latest attack at an event in illinois. but last month, let this speak for itself. the actions of the department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. in assault on sessions comes at the same time when the white house is asking for more redactions on the release from carter page. >> what i want is i want total transparency. this is a witch hunt. >> reporter: the broad

declassification order is unprecedented. some of the documents had been unclassified. while the president can order further releases, former cia chief, michael had nyden reacte with alarm. >> it is breathtaking to see raw politics inserted. >> reporter: if it comes to the point that sources and methods could be compromised, chris wray and dan coats should resign. >> the right them for them to do, to signal the alarm, is to say, if you want this done, mr. president, it has to be done by someone else. we may be getting close to that point. >> reporter: jessica schneider, cnn, washington. another interesting detail in the interview with "the hill." all of the documents he wants

released, he hasn't read them. he said he is calling for their release because some in congress said they want him to. let's turn to korea. and america's top diplomat says the united states is ready to resort negotiations with north korea with goal of ending those talks by 2021. this comes on the heels of the interkorean summit, where kim jong-un said he vows to remove part of his nuclear program. let's turn to our paula hancocks. she joins us live from seoul, in south korea. good to see you again, paula. after all of the excitement following day two of the interkorean summit, the skeptics are casting doubt if real progress was made. but the u.s. is ready to start denuclearization talks with the north. what is being said about all of this? >> rosemary, we're told that

president moon jae-in is heading back to the south now. it was a wide-ranging agreement. but there is confusion about the denuclearization parts. what we have heard from the u.s. president and the u.s. secretary of state, is they believe north korea has agreed to nuclear monitors going into the country. usa and iaea inspectors is what secretary pompeo. the declaration what we saw yesterday, that wasn't mentioned at all. there's a difference between what north korea appears to have agreed to and what the u.s. is accepting. we had this in the past. big differences between their positions. but the u.s. has been welcoming of what they believe has been achieved. and the fact that the negotiations are back on track

is progress. the talks havepyongyang. they are going to be back on track once again. there's details that are conflicted. there are differences between what washington wants and pyongyang wants, there has been movement in the fact that the u.s. is ready to sit down for negotiations again. rosemary? >> paula, the big day was the second day. what was the final day like? was that more about sightseeing? now it's all over, moon jae-in has gone home. overall, what is the feeling of what came out of the final day, as well, and overall? >> well, the final day, rosemary, has been symbolic. the two leaders and their lives, the entourage went to the top of mt. pectin. it's the spiritual homeland for

north and south korea. this is symbolic, the fact they went to the top together. it shows again that these two men have clearly built up a strong rapport, not only over the past three days but over the past three summits they have carried out. we heard that from what they keep saying and the speeches, saying they are close. kim jong-un talking of moon jae-in, talking of brotherhood. the fact that the south korean president went to games in which he was able to talk about denuclearization. and that crowd cheered when he said he wanted a korean peninsula without nuclear weapons. that in itself is something that you would not have even imagined, even a matter of months ago.symbolically, and from a p.r. point of view, a lot

has happened in the third day. >> this thanks to paula hancocks joining us from seoul, south korea. the south korean president heading home now. donald trump, once declared he would be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. but his trade war with china could cost the u.s. an opportunity for new jobs. jack marr, the creator of ali baba says that the jobs in the united states will no longer happen because of the trade conflict. he said, this is on the basis of friendly u.s./china and bilateral trade situations. but the current situation has destroyed that. this promise can't be xleelted. let's take a short break. president trump offering up hugs

the death toll from hurricane florence and its aftermath is a tropical storm now stands at 36. two of the victims were female pr prisoners being transported to another location in south carolina. the van was engulfed by flooding at this bridge. the deputies inside managed to escape. president trump was at the hardest hit, and handed out ai.e and wanted to reassure storm victims he wouldn't be forgotten. >> to the families who have lost loved ones, america grieves with you. and our hearts break for you. god bless you. we will never forget your loss. we will never leave your side. we're with you all the way.

and to all those impacted by this pebble stoterrible storm, american family is with you and here to help and you will recover. we get more from cnn's nick watt in wilmington, north carolina. >> reporter: president trump visited the carolinas on wednesday and really had two main messages. the first was, we the federal government, and president trump, we're 100% with you. this is going to cost a lot of money. we'll provide whatever is needed. and the message for the people of south carolina, for you, the worst may still be to come from florence. so much water fell, a lot over north carolina. both states broke the record from the most water of a tropical system. all that is heading towards south carolina. conway the president's final stop. there, officials say they may see the worst of this friday. that may be when their town

floods in north myrtle beach. i heard from an official there who said they are slowly becoming an island. some rivers may not crest until next week. up here in north carolina, the governor said this is a state that is hurting and may continue to hurt for some time. evacuation orders have been lifted in many places. but residents are told, it's dangerous to come back. hundreds of roads are closed. thousands of people are in shelters. and of course, there's the economic impact to industry up here. the carolinas rely heavily on tourism and agriculture. 3 million chickens have drowned. 5,000 pigs have died. the cost of this storm will hit this area for some time to come. nick watt, cnn, wilmington, north carolina. our meteorologist pedram javaheri joins us more from the weather center. what are you learning about the

flooding, pedram? >> as nick eluded to, we're going to see the water drop in some areas upstream. we'll show you what happened here. we're looking at the totals every wom overwhe overwhelmington. 44 inches will be normal. the wettest year in the years of recordkeeping across the area. you compare it to seattle, washington. 38 inches per year. miami, florida, gets about 62 inches per year. wilmington, north carolina, outdoes them by a couple of feet. you look at some of the gauges in cape fear and fayetteville. we just crested below the record at 61.5 feet. the water levels are drop sunday afternoon. they will still be in flood stage but receded across that

region. as nick eluded to in his story, in some aer areas where it will take days for water to rise, it will be sunday or monday when we have record flooding taking place across those regions. the flood warnings, still widespread across this region. over 50 counties that are dealing with water on the roadways at this hour right now. >> thank you so much for keeping a close eye on that. we'll check back with you soon. it has been one year since hurricane maria made landfall in puerto rico. and there's controversy surrounding the disaster. last month, puerto rico's government raised the official death toll to nearly 3,000 people after maintaining for months that only 64 had died. president trump has rejected the revised toll, calling his administration's response an incredible success. maria was the first category 4

hurricane to impact puerto rico in 85 years. almost the entire island, almost 3 million people were left without power. many for weeks. the recovery has been slow going ever since. to mark the anniversary, protesters plan to gather in new york for an interfaith prayer service. then, march to trump tower to denounce the administration's response to the disaster. a couple of senators are discussing calls for afternoon fbi investigation in the supreme court nomination process now. but that's not how they felt about a nomination in 1991. the difference in the two cases when we come back. and just what is the fbi's role in the nomination process? we'll talk with a former fbi official. we're back in a moment. ing ... it was always our singular focus. to do whatever it takes, use every possible resource. to fight cancer. and never lose sight of the patients

welcome back, everyone. this is "cnn newsroom" and i'm rosemary church. want to update you on the stories we're following this hour. south korea's president has left pyongyang after his summit with kim jong-un. the u.s. is hailing it as a success. mike pompeo says the united states is ready to start talks with the north, with the goal of ending those talks by 2021. president trump on wednesday, visited some of the areas hardest hit by hurricane florence and its aftermath. he handed out meals, posing for a word or a sell tfie and a hug.

he reassured storm victims they wouldn't be forgotten. christine blasey ford has until friday morning to decide whether she will speaking to a commit aabout brett kavanaugh. she accused the supreme court nominee of sexually assaulting her when chez were in high school. ford has called for an fbi investigation before she testifies. the democrats want the process to slow down and have called for an fbi investigation. but republicans say the fbi should stay out of it and isn't budges on its plan for a monday hearing. orrin hatch tweeted this -- the fbi does not do investigations like this. the responsibility falls to us. senate judiciary committee chairman chuck grassley isn't interested in an investigation, either. >> i'm not worried on anything but focusing physician the next

few days to encourage her to come. >> yet, when then-chairman joe biden called for an fbi into anita hill's sexual harassment allegations against clarence thomas in 1991, the two senators had a different view. >> xhachairman button and the ranking member, thurmond, when they heard about this the first time, they immediately ordered this fbi investigation, which was the very right thing to do. the appropriate thing to do. >> now, when the chairman of the judiciary committee and when the ranking member of the judiciary committee learned of these allegations, the fbi was immediately ordered to conduct an investigation. that investigation was completed before the senate judiciary committee voted. >> well, former fbi assistant

director, tom fuentes joins me now to makeceps of all of this. thanks for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> let's look at the judiciary committee. it's not an impartial body. it steeps in politics. should the fbi investigate these allegations? >> in my opinion, think they should at this point. it's gone to the point where the credibility on all sides is going to be affected by whether this is investigated or not. and i think, given the way the allegation is made, i think it could take a very short time to do this investigation. with regard to what the senator said in 1991, that's inaccurate. they didn't order -- the senate didn't order the fbi investigation. the president of the united states did, as an extension of the background.

in the u.s. system, nominees for positions, whether it's judges at all levels, u.s. attorneys, secretaries of cabinet offices, those nominations are made by the president and confirmed or denied by the u.s. senate. the white house, when they have an idea of who they're going to nominate, they make the request for the background nominations. and the fbi does not render a decision whether that should go forward. they get the results back to the white house. and the white house can decide if they're going to continue the nomination of an individual or withdraw it, with regard to, in this case, an allegation of a sexual assault that occurred three or more decades ago. that's not a federal crime. so, the idea is, the fbi would not normally investigate it as a criminal offense. that would be a local police jurisdiction issue in the united states.

that wouldn't happen. but the fbi would investigate, as a matter of the background, looking into the character of the nominee, in this case, kavanaugh. and that can be extended or extended by the white house. what they find is turned back over to the white house, and it's up to the president to decide whether he wants to back the nomination or where the nominee withdrawn. >> if the nomination went ahead, what questions could they ask? and isn't it in brett kavanaugh's interest to have this investigation to clear his name or he will have a cloud over his head for his whole term as a justice. >> that's true. and in the modern internet era, he would have a cloud over his head, even if he becomes a u.s. supreme court justice. you google his name for the rest

of his life, that will come up. that damage is done for him and his wife and his daughters. with regard to the background extension of having the fbi do this case, it's going to be a matter of the accusations have been made by professor ford. are they true? when did it happen? where did it happen? who can corroborate that it did happen? was there any evidence obtained? did she report it to the police, friends, family, anybody else at that time. and so far from the reporting we've seen, it looks like there was nothing reported to anyone for maybe 20 years, at the minimum. that's going to be a challenge for anybody to try to investigate and verify whether or not it actually occurred. you know, there's a saying of, you know, beware of what you ask for. and in this case, if her attorneys and her, as the accuser, is asking for an fbi

investigation, they need to be careful. part of that has to deal with her credibility. did she drink a lot? was she a party girl? does she have credibility. what do her friends and classmates say? there's been no real reporting about that. but you know, she's going to also, you know, right now, we're looking at kavanaugh needing to be pure as the driven snow, she is going to have to also be as a credible witness. >> as anita hill has said, the senate judiciary committee has no protocols in place to deal with allegations of this nature. she witnessed that firsthand at the clarence thomas hearings 7 years ago. nothing has changed since then. we see christine blasey ford being pressured to testify monday, in a process that's

geared to favor the supreme court nominee. should she testify monday without an fbi investigation? otherwise, what is the reason coming to this point? >> she needs to testify with or without the investigation because i think if she testifies and comes off as believable and incredible and sincere, that's going to put the pressure -- the pressure is going to switch from her back to the white house, to order the fbi to extend the background investigation. i think that's how it would come together if she's believable. if she can't remember the specifics of this event, or people she cites as witnesses or other people that can verify her story, don't verify her story, that will be difficult for her. >> now, the judiciary committee is offering to send its staff members to talk with blasey

ford. those questions they ask her will not be the same that the fbi would ask. it's a political process. can you see a scenario where enough pressure is brought to bear to force an fbi investigation, to find out who is telling the truth? >> well, yeah. i think staffers going to another state to talk to her is absurd. they're not trained investigators. they're not going to be objective. i don't see that as to being any credibility of the process. they go out there and come back. if it's a staffer that works for a democrat, they're going to have one opinion. if it's a staffer, it goes back to that issue. there would be no credibility, i think, in that process. the only pressure here is

pressure on the president and on the white house. and his attorneys to tell the president, it is a good idea to tell you to order the fbi to reopen the background investigation. these had six backgrounds before. this allegation or aspect was never looked at in the past. now, take a look at it. >> we appreciate your expertise on this matter. thank you for joining us. >> you're welcome. and still to come, from reality tv and real-life crime. police say this surgeon and his girlfriend lured women and then assaulted them. why the victims could be in the hundreds, at least. and the rape crisis in india is getting worse. the latest from new delhi when we come back. to look at me now, you don't see psoriasis.

a surgeon in california and his girlfriend are suspected of

drugging and sexually assaulting at least six women. but police worry the number of victims is much higher. charges have been brought in two cases. the victims say they met robicheaux and girlfriend on the town. he was on a tv dating show. the victims allege they were drugged and taken to the doctor's apartment in newport bea beach. the victims' attorney says they would attract women. >> we heard of a wolf in sheep's clothing. a wolf can wear scrubs or doctor's clothing. the district attorney says the couple videotaped what was going on. because of those tapes, they fear there could be 1,000

victims. the couple's attorney denies the allegations. a horrific story out of india. a 7-year-old girl brutally raped with a water pipe. it is the latest in a long string of sexual assault there's. protesters have taken to the streets and new laws have been put in place. but it's done little to stop the attacks. anna joins us now. the details are horrifying and sickening. and the tragedy is, this keeps on happening. what are you learning about the condition of this little girl? and what are authorities saying about the man in custody, in connection with this heinous crime? >> this man, he's a 21-year-old known to the victim. believed to be a victim of this little girl. now, this 7-year-old, she is here at the hospital. she's in the emergency ward here

in new delhi. and she is recovering. that's the good news, rosemary. she's in a critical condition. however, police tell us that she is now stable. as you say, she suffered extensive injuries after this water pipe was inserted inside her little body. it is just harrowing to know this is happening in india in 2018. that huge case in 2012, which took indians to the streets. they were absolutely outraged when that 23-year-old university student was gang-raped on a bus here in new delhi. and she suffered such extensive injuries because they use ed stl rod. she had to be air-lifted to singapore to undergo medical attention, special surgery. she died weeks later.

t that was almost a national reckoning for india. but as we know, the gang-rapes have continued. the rapes of young children have continued. they've tried to toughen laws against rapers. they have the identity of men under 12. they have brought in the fast-track houses that are supposed to see the cases through. there's some 60 million rape cases pending. there's a dysfunction here in india. people are wondering, why is this happening? why are these cases still occurring in kday and age. is it a socioeconomic problem? is it something else. this is not about the uneducated, rosemary. they're lawmakers, powerful people, who have been charged with these heinous crimes.

one case, one high-profile case is before the courts. so, there is an aggressive view of women in this country, women and girls. rosemary, it needs to be addressed and it needs to be addressed now. >> it is hard to fifthathom. and policing the laws that are in place seems to be hard. appreciate that. the news continues after this short break. you are watching "cnn newsroom." it's the details that make the difference. only botox® cosmetic is fda approved to temporarily make frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines look better. it's a quick 10 minute treatment given by a doctor to reduce those lines. ask your doctor about botox® cosmetic by name. the effects of botox® cosmetic, may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threatening condition.

global conflict isn't enough for president trump top diplomat apparently. secretary of state declared war on commerce. we are learning mike pomp takes grammar very seriously. >> that is correct. there's a persistent problem deep within the state department. throughout this vast space, and it is the improper use of commas. everybody has a grammar pet peeve. this is his. now with know within the last few months two e-mails have gone out on this subject. sent wide throughout the state department. trying to get people back on track. the last one went out a couple days ago. it said the secretary has under
